Benvenuti and Welcome!

Hi everyone, and welcome to my bi-lingual English Italian blog! Here you will find every post written firstly in English and then (badly!) in Italian. I welcome all your suggestions, comments, emails and (above all) your corrections!

Shhh...don't tell my husband, but I think there's something indefinably sexy about Marco Travaglio! Of course I listen to Passaparola every week primarily to practice listening to Italian spoken at a normal pace and to learn really interesting things about the social and political situation in Italy, but the fact that this show is presented by the lovely Marco is a real bonus! I'm sure that's very shallow of me! Anyway...the podcasts are great for Italian students because a) they're a fantastic way to learn about some controversial Italian current affairs and b) every podcast is subtitled in Italian, with the script also available to read on the website.

What follows is the beginning of the transcription for this episode, and you can read the rest HERE.
